I am about to do a job for a car club. The club wants (7) 36"x14"in. and (8) 14"x5"in. sticker decals, all of them in chrome vinyl. Would you charge them for each sticker or charge by the sq. foot? How much would you guys & girls would charge them? Thanks in advance.

I would charge them by the sticker, based on my costs for materials and something for my time.

if it was normal vinyl (not the chrome) I would be at 37. each for the 36 x 14's and 10 each for the 14 x 5's

That being said.. with using chrome vinyl depending on the complexity of the design.. I would be at approx 50. for the large ones and 15 or more for the small ones..

My question is this.. Have you ever used the chrome vinyl.. How complex is the cutting and weeding..
The chrome vinyl is a pain to both cut and weed.. If you are doing small letter or difficult to weed letters it can take forever to just get one done..
If you have the chrome vinyl on hand.. do a test cut and see what you will be up against.

We have the chrome in stock but are picky about the jobs we will use it for as its not cheap to begin with and Its the worse vinyl to work with ive ever tried..

It tends to want to buckle on the cutter.. and wants to tear and rip when you weed

We charge em by the square foot when they get to that size.....besides the customer doesnt have as much as a sticker shock doing it sq. ft. wise..it has worked for us....let me know what you come up with.

We charge by the sq. inch, and avoid chrome like the plague. That was only based on one bad experience with it so take it for what its worth. Normal oracal 651 would come in at around at around $31 and $7. A lot of it depends on the complexity of the sticker needed. We charge a different rate for stickers that have a lot of weeding. We learned early on that purely going off a sq foot estimate can bite you in the rear really fast.
